 investigation into the cause of the accident.
 Among those present were Superintendent
 Folsom and George Putnam, counsel for the
 road. Five employees of the road, including
 the superintendent of bridges and w. A. Al
 den, one of the conductors of the wrecked
 train, were sworn. MT. Alden testified that
 he had been in the employ of the road since
 1873 and conductor the Dedham branch
 since 1878. The other conductors of the
 train were Myron Tilden, who was killed ,and
 Webster N. Drake, who was injured. The
 train was on time and was running at the
 rate of twelve miles an hour, the regular
 rate. The train consisted of an
 engine, eight passenger coaches
 and a combination car in the rear. Witness
 had charge of the three front cars, Conductor
 Tilden of the three middle cars and Conduc-
 tor Drake of the three rear ones. There
 were eighty or ninety passengers on the two
 forward cars. Witness was in the second car from the rear. His attention was not drawn to anything wrong before the crash came and it was impossible to describe his experience. The first he knew he was sitting on the floor with cushions of seats all around him. He had been thrown several feet he thought toward the rear. Before he picked himself up most of the passengers had got 1 out and only three four were left. He 1 looked through this car and the rear one for l injured passengers and found none. Witness 1 then described the condition of the two cars ! and stated that he did not believe that any body was killed in either. After searching l both he went down the north side of the em- | bankment and began getting out the dead. l He saw evidences of fire after all were got l out, but it did not amount to anything. | Witness gave lengthy description of the | condition of kha okpdo oarS and thosa 1aft | on the road bed and in answer to questions | said he had never felt any peculiar motion or | jar when riding across the bridge. He never | said he did not like the bridge and never felt | any special anxiety in regard to it.
 The latest estimate makes the number of | dead twenty-six. A careful canvass of West | Roxbury and Dedham shows the number of | wounded to be at least one hundred and | fourteen, of which number fifteen are | classed as fatally injured, while more than l 8 score are in a precarious condition and | the results of their wounds may take fatal | turn at any time.
 The following is believed to be an accur- | ats list of the dead: Myron Tilden, Dedham, conductor; Lizzie Walton, Dedham; Rosa | bella Weleh, saleswoman, West Roxbury; | W. J. Strong; Peter Swaben, Central sta tion; W. Edgar Snow, West Roxbury; L. Odiorne, saleswoman, family live at ! Dover, N. H.; Edward E. Norris, freight l clerk, Dedham; Miss Norris, West oxbury; l Lizzie Vaudeville, Dedham; Waldo B. Lail- l Tor, policeman, Spring street; Albert P. watchmaker, Boston; Stephen T. l Houghton, gas filter, West Roxbu1y; Emma | P. Hill; Harry Gay; Miss Sarah E. Ellis, l family live at Medfeld w. E. Durham; | Hattie Dudley; Webster Clapp; Mrs. H. Car l dinal, Roslindale; Alice Burnett, aged six | teen, Roslindale; Mrs. Mary E. Brooks, West | Roxbury; Mrs. Ira Adams, Kittredge street | total a.
